Pasteurizing Eggs
There are lots of recipes that call for raw eggs, I will have several. This is how to pasteurize your eggs if you will be using them raw. It will kill the bacteria without cooking the egg.

Fill a saucepan 3/4 full with cold water, place the egg in the water, and heat over medium heat. You must watch the temperature very close. It has to go above 140° for 3 to 5 minutes but it cannot go above 150°. If it goes above 150°, the eggs will start to cook. If the eggs do not get above 140°, the temperature will not be hot enough to kill the bacteria. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
